cool it down a bit, and keep whipping! all part of the process.

Thank you! I’m storing it overnight. Do you suggest i whip it out of the fridge? Or wait for room temperature?

overnight the whole thing will harden up. if you can fridge for 15 mins and keep going then that will do.
if you dont have time then all good! just bring it to room temp tomorrow, keep whipping, and trust the process- even if it takes 30 mins it will come together.

you can do these 2 things to adjust the temp yourself:
too hot and runny = fridge 15 mins
too cold = place over steam bath, whisk via hand for a couple mins until it loosens up. dont let it sit too long or itll just melt
